2 Chronicles 6:42 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant. Turn not away the face of thine anointed - "At least do me good; and if not for my sake, do it for thy own sake." - Jarchi.

These two last verses are not in the parallel place in 1 Kings 8:22-53. There are other differences between the two places in this prayer, but they are not of much consequence.
